David Coulthard has proposed to his new girlfriend.
We don't write about the personal lives of Formula 1 stars, former or current, very often - it's mostly a matter for tabloids and other publications of a similar nature. But there are still exceptions, especially when it comes to heroes, whom we have long known. With David Coulthard we have talked more than once - and in Moscow, and in the paddock of different autodromes around the world, from Barcelona to Abu Dhabi, and talked to him on a variety of topics, not only related to motorsport. By the way, once he even took an F1News.ru journalist for a ride on the ice track - it was a long time ago!... In general, it makes sense to share the news that DC, as he is often called, has proposed to his new girlfriend, Swedish model Sigrid Silversand. Especially since we already told you about their relationship exactly two years ago.

Esteban Ocon continues to prepare for the season - the team Haas reported that its new racer has passed the seat fitting. "If the process of fitting the seat makes you smile, then Esteban is already comfortable in anticipation of a long season!" the press office of the team accompanied the photos of the French driver in the cockpit of the car VF-25, which is not yet completed. - It seems that his mood is really good - that's how the mood should be before the start of the season, especially since the end of the previous championship the American team really held confident and stable.
One fan commented, "I feel like this is the seat of the driver who will be on the podium in 2025." Haas doesn't have any podiums yet, but if Esteban can repeat in the new season what he did in 2024 in Brazil driving an Alpine - where he finished second - it means that Ayo Komatsu, the team manager's expectations for his new driver will come true.

A race of two worlds. Chapter 18. Part 4
This is a fictional story, no crossovers with real events should be sought. This is a continuation of "Race of Two Worlds" by Nikita Saveliev for the readers of F1News.ru... Chapter 18. The denouement. Part Four - Yes, Robert. You've done a good job of laying it all out, of course, but what's Jane got to do with it? - You didn't notice, but we found a notebook in Glen's room. It had the same racing-car emblem on it as the notebooks in Miss Shelton's office. I didn't think much of her at the time, I just assumed someone on the staff was involved. I almost made the mistake of asking Ms. Shelton where she could get such notebooks. But he came to his senses and decided to look at the staff first.

Infiniti Is Providing Discounts of Up to $16,000 on Its QX80 Flagship Model
Infiniti
Despite being brand new, the 2025 Infiniti QX80 is already offered at a discount. Current rebates can reduce the QX80's MSRP of over $85,000 by up to $16,000, though these discounts do not apply to the top-of-the-line Autograph trim.
Truthfully, if you're in a position to spend nearly six figures on an Infiniti, the difference of $10,000 may seem trivial—perhaps equivalent to a water bill for a large home. For the rest of us, the QX80's significant redesign has resulted in a notable price increase. The base model's starting price jumped from $76,145 to $84,445—a rise of 11%. The entry trim has also shifted from the QX80 Luxe to the QX80 Pure. When comparing Luxe models year-over-year, the increase is actually 20%.

Marco: I work for two reasons, and one of them is Max
Helmut Marko has played such an important role in the fate and sporting career of Max Verstappen that the four-time world champion calls his mentor a second father.
in an interview with Dutch publication Formule1, the 81-year-old motorsport advisor to Red Bull talked about what he has in common with the Red Bull Racing driver and also emphasized that he considers himself the keeper of the team's spirit and traditions. It was Marco who in 2016 insisted on Verstappen's transfer to Red Bull Racing after just 23 races at Toro Rosso, and since then Max has scored 63 victories and won four titles. And when at the beginning of 2024 in the team called for a crisis situation, it was he who spoke in defense of Marco. "I have never felt such an attachment to the racer and I am ready to openly admit it, - said Helmut Marco.

Chandhok admits Alonso will fight for the title in 2026
Karun Chandhok, a former Formula 1 driver and now an expert on Sky Sports, does not rule out that in 2026 Fernando Alonso will fight for victory in the world championship, given the efforts being made at Aston Martin to enter the category of top teams. Adrian Newey, the most successful designer of racing cars in the history of Formula 1, will start work in a month, but he is not the only high-level specialist who joined the team from Silverstone recently - Andy Cowell and Enrico Cardile should also be mentioned. Reorganization in Aston Martin F1 is in full swing, and Chandhok's optimism in assessing the prospects of Aston Martin F1 is quite understandable. "I think it is important to emphasize that the changes in the rules are very large-scale - said Karun in an interview with the Indian edition of Evo magazine.

Gary Anderson criticizes the FIA
In 2025, the FIA suddenly decided to tighten the requirements for the flexibility of the anti-wings, although previously promised not to do so. But in January, the Federation notified the championship teams that already in Australia rear wings will be checked in accordance with the new, more stringent requirements, and at the Spanish Grand Prix these requirements will apply to the front wings.
Gary Anderson, a former designer of racing cars, and now an expert of the publication The Race, believes that the FIA changed the methodology of tests too late. Flexible front wings became a constant topic of discussion in Formula 1 after Red Bull sent FIA claims against McLaren, although in the end no violations were not revealed.

BMW's victory double at Bathurst, Rossi on the podium
the 12-hour race at Australia's famous Bathurst circuit ended today with a victory double for Team WRT - its drivers drive BMW M4 GT3s. The Belgian team, consisting of brothers Kelvin and Sheldon van der Linde, South African drivers, and Augusto Farfus, Brazilian endurance master, won the race. The BMW with the number 46, traditionally driven by Valentino Rossi, the nine-time world motorcycle racing champion now pursuing a career in GT, finished second. On the final stretch of the course, the winning trio's car was piloted by Kelvin van der Linde, who had to save fuel to get to the finish line, as this was the WRT tactic. He acted calmly when he was overtaken by the Ferrari of Arise Racing, because 20 minutes before the end of the race it turned into the boxes, and Kelvin was the first to see the checkered flag.

Russell: It's important to listen to Bottas' stories about working at Sauber
George Russell is going to learn from Valtteri Bottas, the new reserve driver of Mercedes, "secrets of Ferrari", because in the last three years the Finn played for Alfa Romeo/Sauber, and the cars of this team traditionally have Italian engines. Russell and Bottas in the past had a difficult relationship, including overshadowed by the accident at Imola in 2021, but at the end of that season Valtteri parted with Mercedes, and George took his place. Now the two have become colleagues and Bottas will have to watch from the sidelines to see how the team performs, with 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli making his debut this year.

Bottas' former sponsor supports Hakkinen's daughter
We've talked about Antti Aarnio-Wihuri many times in the context of his long-standing business relationship with Valtteri Bottas, which has frayed in recent years - and through no fault of the Finnish billionaire. But the 84-year-old motorsport philanthropist has helped and is not only helping him - for example, his protégés include the talented and fast Finnish driver Tuukka Taponen, who will make his Formula 3 debut this season. But his company Wihuri also supports 14-year-old Ella Hakkinen, and she is already making her first successes in competitive karting. "Every year in September-October we receive at least 50 letters from 'future world champions' who ask for our support," Aarnio-Wihuri told Ilta-Sanomat. - I know Mika Hakkinen very well, and recently he came to me and asked if I could help finance Ella's career.

Van der Garde: Hamilton and Leclaire are the strongest duo in F1
Guido van der Garde believes that Lewis Hamilton can already this year to enter the dispute for the championship title. According to the former driver, now commentating Formula 1 on Dutch TV, in Ferrari showed courage in signing a contract with the seven-time world champion. "I think it's a very brave decision. It's really great that he was able to take this step," RacingNews365 quoted Guido as saying. - Of course, he was very comfortable in Mercedes, there he was the number one driver, even if last year he had some difficulties both with his partner and with the team. But I think he has a very combative attitude in the run-up to the new season, when he will have to work with new people. Of course, cooperation with English teams is very different from the work with the Italian team, because in Scuderia different, more hot temperament.

The track at Albert Park, which this year will host the first race of the season, will lose its former recognizability. Now the track is being brought into compliance with the latest FIA standards, among the works in preparation for the Australian Grand Prix and the refusal of yellow stripes of road markings - now it will be only white. The track markings were yellow because of its location in a public park, where yellow lines denoted a ban on parking. At one time the organizers agreed with the FIA to keep this marking during race weekends, but now they have to make changes - the marking should be white with a blue outline. We have already written about other works in Albert Park - this is the reconstruction of the sixth turn, where the barrier was moved and the TecPro protection was repositioned, so that after the departure of cars did not bounce back on the track, and improving the comfort of spectators with the installation of a new pedestrian bridge.
Komatsu: There will be no incidents between our riders
Haas F1 manager Ayo Komatsu hopes that with a new pair of pilots - the experienced Esteban Ocon and rookie Oliver Berman - there will be no problems this year. Ayo Komatsu: "I hope we don't go back to the situation when we had Nikita and Mick, otherwise it will be a problem for the team. But I'm sure we won't repeat 2021. The team did a great job last year, we added to it and we have to take the next step this season. The situation in the team and the drivers are completely different now than in 2021. Esteban and Oliver are a strong pair of drivers, they both don't need to prove anything. I told Berman that I don't treat him as a newcomer, he is a promising driver who will gain experience together with our young engineers. Team discipline is very important. Before the start of the season we will once again remind the riders of our principles.

In an interview with GPblog former head of Haas F1 Gunther Steiner said that the best option for Sergio Perez would be a contract with Cadillac... Gunther Steiner: "It is clear that in the period of formation of the team Cadillac will need an experienced driver. Perez played for several teams, he knows what to do, and can help. I think they should sign Sergio to a one-year contract. In a year Perez will forget about the defeat from Max, will be able to return to his former level and will be interesting for Cadillac. Sergio was very good, playing for Force India, whatever it is called. He was stable and fast in a weak team, but could not cope with the pressure in a strong one. A contract with Cadillac would allow him to return to a comfort zone where he doesn't have to prove anything."
The other day in Honda recognized the problems with the development of a new motor for 2026, when in Formula 1 will change the regulations, but the head of Red Bull Racing Christian Horner dispelled these fears ... Christian Horner: "The management and staff of Honda had to solve difficult problems - first they closed the project of participation in Formula 1, and then re-launched it. Perhaps they lost a little time because of this, but it is a very powerful, strong company. I'm sure by 2026 they will have built a competitive powertrain and Honda will have no problems with the engine. As for our own powertrains - we always want more time, because we took a serious challenge, deciding to produce engines from scratch. We are a start-up company from that point of view, but so far it's going well. Of course, you never know what your rivals are doing, but there is a feeling that we are on the right track."
Three-time Formula 1 champion Jackie Stewart was surprised by Lewis Hamilton's decision to change teams - he himself was close to moving to Ferrari, but at one time could not do it. Jackie Stewart: "Lewis has become even more experienced than last year, he knows his business very well. Ferrari is the most recognizable brand in the world. If you ask a Maasai warrior in Africa, he will know the name Ferrari. I was surprised when Lewis made the decision to switch, although he almost went to Ferrari himself. However, then the old man was a tough nut and it did not work out. Transition to Ferrari - it is always bright, exciting and, as a rule, a successful decision, so I would not throw Lewis off the books in the fight for the title".
Horner: We have 48 weeks remaining to develop a dependable and strong engine.
Christian Horner has indicated that Honda "lost some time" in the development of its entirely new power unit for 2026. Last week, Koji Watanabe, the head of Honda Racing Corporation, expressed concern that the Japanese manufacturer is "struggling" to prepare the 2026 engine due to the challenges involved in its development. Red Bull will utilize Honda's current engine in 2025, while the new 2026 Honda engine will be exclusively raced by Aston Martin.
When questioned about Watanabe's comments regarding 2026, Red Bull team principal Horner acknowledged that the new regulations present a "significant challenge" for any engine manufacturer. Additionally, Red Bull is working with Ford to produce its own F1 engine for 2026 and beyond.

Horner asserts FIA's 'right' to remove F1 steward Herbert.
Christian Horner stated that the FIA made the "right decision" in removing Johnny Herbert from his position as a Formula 1 steward. The governing body determined that Herbert's role with the FIA was "incompatible" with his work as a vocal pundit on various gambling-related platforms. In 2024, Herbert's involvement in several controversial penalties for Max Verstappen upset Max’s father, Jos, and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. Horner has since asserted that Herbert's departure and the criticism of Verstappen were not "connected in any way." "Nevertheless, it was the right decision," he acknowledged. "You cannot have officials who also work in the media. This is not permitted in other professional sports, as it is totally inappropriate. You must be either on the regulatory side of the sport or on the media side.
